Hi, I'm hoping somebody on here can help me. I have a problem with DosBox 0.74 where it won't play any sound on any games. In DosBox 0.73 the sound works fine.

I would stick with 0.73, however it has a rather annoying full screen problem, which makes the colours go bizarre when I full screen it.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Try replacing every 44100 with 48000 in the config file since that's a native rate to most laptop audio chipsets.
